Students reinforce their knowledge of seasons and the types of weather and precipitation that occur during each season. They use previous learning of weather, precipitation, and seasons from a weather unit to create a collage for all...

Students explore clouds and abstract thinking through painting. This lesson uses higher thinking skills and encourages self expression.

Students investigate how lightning is produced and ways they can keep themselves safe during a lightning storm. After a lecture/demo, students use a worksheet imbedded in this plan to reinforce the concepts taught.

Middle schoolers identify regional climates by using weather maps. They, in groups, locate and mark their city on the small map, then go to the larger map to locate and mark their city when they are called upon by teacher.

Students view, discuss, and compare different types of maps produced from remote sensing data. They use image processing software to analyze and enhance sea surface temperature maps.

Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.

Students explore the differences between surface water and ground water. They collect data using maps and graphs and investigate a Texas river basin and a nearby aquifer. They complete a written report including maps and data regarding...

Learners use Excel to graph monthly mean Greenwich sunspot numbers from 1749 to 2004. They perform a spectral analysis of the data using the free software program "Spectra". Short answer and thought questions related to the graphical...

Students use a JAVA interface to explore the Daisy World model to illustrate a mechanism through which - according to the Gaian hypothesis - biota might optimize their abiotic environment by means of negative feedback.

Students import ocean bathymetry data from text files. They then graph these observations along with model predictions to assess the model's ability to simulate observed topographic features of the North Atlantic. Students use Excel to...

Students are introduced to drag. Then they summarize drag by saying that the drag is proportional to the square of the velocity. Students then solve problems an example of such a problem: Explain why swimming underwater is faster than...

Learn all about the basic meteorological instruments.

Here's a good way to get yourself on TV. This science fair project will help you learn how to predict the weather. So who knows, maybe you'll be more accurate than your local meteorologist.

This site focuses on water and air pollution in Australia, with a brief mention of sea breezes.

This site provides a discussion of dew point and relative humidity, containing formulas that look at connections between temperature, humidity, and dew point.
